Question

Sarah, Dan & Gavyn share some money in the ratio 5 : 1 : 4. In total, Sarah and Gavyn receive £45. How much does Dan get?

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total amount be x

amount recieved by sarah=5x

amount recieved by dan=1x

amount recieved by gavyn=4x

amount recieved by sarah and gavyn =5x+4x=45

                                                                   9x=45

                                                                    x=5

thus  amount recieved by dan=5*1 = 5
